What works well?
All my trainers were great, as were the working environment and my colleagues.
What could be improved?
As an apprentice, I had fixed hours, and that's the one thing I didn't really like.

What works well?
I can't give feedback on this, I haven't worked on it.
What could be improved?
The recruitment process is unclear and seems very elitist. Indeed, it would be wise to broaden the degree requirements. Do you need a master's degree to be a counselor? My personal answer: NO. It seems to me that this company is looking for theorists and not pragmatic people from the field. Moreover, the same offer reappears every 3 months, which seems paradoxical. A company that wishes to accompany people towards a clear professional project, is not itself capable of ensuring the retention of its employees? Thank you for your answer.

What works well?
The atmosphere among employees. The teams are friendly and welcoming within themselves.
What could be improved?
Management: you are sold a horizontal management, modern conditions, a funny company seminar... when in reality management is vertiginously vertical, everyone in his place and you are made to understand it very well. Employees who bring innovative ideas do not stay long. The "talking shop" where everyone can freely ask questions is a sham. The salaries are lower than those of other suppliers and there are no opportunities for internal development.

Recruitment is not their strong point. They should at least take the time to respond.
What could be improved?
Doesn't bother to answer, even if it's negative. At least an automatic response would be appreciated.

Your return is very surprising, we attach great importance to answering each candidate. Sometimes it can take several weeks depending on the position. I invite you to send us an email to: recrutement@demarche.ch so that we can deal with your dissatisfaction.

What works well?
I was lucky enough to receive a rejection email following my application.
What could be improved?
I regret and deplore that this employer "forces" future and potential employees to mention on their own the salary expectations they have. If this information is not mentioned, they do not even bother to answer. It is up to the employer to specify the salary scale in all transparency. This is a roundabout way to evaluate salaries downwards. Too bad... (I received an email explaining that I did not fit the profile. The unacknowledged reason is the salary requested).

We would like candidates to indicate their salary expectations, not to make it a selection criterion as you indicate, but rather to evaluate whether the difference in salary could be a blocking point for the candidate, or even a demotivating factor. Indeed, being a subsidized company, we cannot charge the same salaries as in the private sector, which is why this point is important to us.

What works well?
Excellent production activities (very first market oriented) Diversity of measures and clients The part of the training offered to the employees
What could be improved?
The very vertical and political management Inflexible human resources management with little consideration for employees. High turnover. Average time 3 years which explains the very high recruitment rate A management far removed from the realities of the field Very pressurizing and unrealistic specifications

Dear employee, I invite you to contact me so that we can discuss the figures that you articulate regarding turnover and the past years of employees within our structure; we obviously do not have the same information. We strive to maintain a close management relationship with our teams in order to support them as best as possible and understand their problems. To this end, we involve our employees in defining the Cooperative's strategic objectives and organize dialogue workshops twice a year to discuss questions, issues and difficulties. I invite you to participate if you feel that management is too detached from the field to discuss these issues together.

What works well?
The first two interviews were very pleasant, with people who were open and very dialogue-oriented.
What could be improved?
The recruitment process, they ask me to do a half-day observation, after 12 days I follow them up by phone, nothing... then send an email nothing... Almost 3 weeks later I received a call telling me that my application had not been accepted. I ask them why, and the answer is: integration into the team. A real class act.

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to see that the human values we advocate were felt during the interview. We realize that the 3 week wait to get a definitive feedback from us was too long for you; we try to reduce this time as much as possible, taking into account the constraints of everyone involved in the recruitment process.

What works well?
Schedules are flexible and compatible with private life. But it all depends on the sector... The 6 weeks of vacation are very interesting.
What could be improved?
Management, employee integration and lack of transparency. Unfortunately, there's a great lack of professionalism at the top (management: HR, superiors) and this has a very bad influence on our direct line managers. No reality in the field, no hindsight and no consideration for beneficiaries and apprentices. The lower classes are challenged all year round, something unthinkable for those at the top, resulting in high levels of tension on a daily basis within the cooperative. It's no wonder that turnover is the order of the day at Démarche.

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to see that the flexible working hours and six weeks' vacation are appreciated. However, we are surprised by your comments on management, employee integration and the lack of transparency. We will look into these matters and thank you for your candor.
